Chapter 149 Investing in Shares
Now the wages of workers in the winery are higher than those of many city workers. Everyone in the village hopes that their children can work in the winery. Everyone tries hard to get along well with Wen Qing and Captain Liu, and no one talks bad about her in private anymore.
Tan Yuanfang privately calculated the accounts of the winery for her. The winery produces about 60 tons of liquor per month, 30 tons each of light-flavor and strong-flavor liquors. Due to the age of the liquor, 40 tons of liquor are sold each month, with an income of about 45 yuan.
Raw materials, including 20 catties of grain per month, about 6 yuan, brewing utensils, cleaning supplies, tools, and packaging products require about 10 yuan, transportation and various sales expenses 10 yuan, water and electricity expenses 2 yuan, wages 2 yuan, not counting bonus expenses. In this way, the monthly gross profit is 15 yuan. Excluding taxes and various depreciation, the monthly profit is about 10 yuan.
As the base wine ages, monthly sales will increase and profits will rise.
Wen Qing asked her to include the cost of expanding the new winery, so that the monthly net profit would only be 6 yuan.
Wen Qing said, "Our winery needs to buy a large truck, you go and arrange it." Since the factory had extra money, Wen Qing wanted to start production immediately.
When Liu Quan heard that the factory was going to buy a car, he immediately ran over and said, "I have a friend in a car sales company. I'll contact him right away."
Then he asked, "Sister Wen, our winery will have a car soon. Can I go and learn how to drive?"
Wen Qing smiled and said, "Okay, you decide which people should learn and you go and make the arrangements."
He added: "If there is a way, I can also buy a car."
After talking about the car, he asked Tan Yuanfang to pay 10 yuan in sponsorship fees to Xunda Store as a publicity expense.
One day in July, Captain Liu came to the winery to find her and said shyly, "Xiao Wen, uncle wants to discuss something with you."
It turned out that the commune was promoting the construction of village-run enterprises in each village. Erxia Village had no enterprise, so Captain Liu wanted to register with the commune in the name of Changxia Winery.
Wen Qing looked at him suspiciously and said, "Uncle, what's the benefit of running a business in Baocheng Village? Isn't it my winery?"
Captain Liu waved his hand and said, "Girl, Changxia Winery is still yours. It is run in the village, providing employment for the villagers and paying taxes in the village. There is no change."
After a pause, he said, "The village supports Changxia Winery to become bigger and stronger. If you want to expand your territory, the village will also support it."
Wen Qing expanded the backyard because she was considering the future development of the winery. The winery already has 110 wine cellars and 100 ground vats, and produces 750 tons of various types of wine each year. This output is still small compared to that of a winery.
After listening to Captain Liu's words, Wen Qing made up her mind and set a goal of doubling the revenue in three years.
So he said, "Uncle Liu, I have an idea."
She has visited some well-known wineries, which often cover an area of more than 5 square meters and employ 6000 to 40 people. Her Changxia Winery has only more than 5000 employees and covers an area of only more than square meters, which is still too small.
She said: "There is still some vacant land in the village, which can be used as assets to invest in Changxia Winery. If our village has shares in Changxia Winery, our Changxia Winery will be a real village-run enterprise."
Captain Liu was very excited, "How much land do you want? How much share can the village take?"
"We need 6 or 70 acres of land. We will build a 5 square meter factory with an annual output of more than 5 tons. I will give the village percent of the shares."
The village contributed 6 to 70 mu, plus its own 15 mu, totaling 80 mu, which is 5.3 square meters, which is basically enough.
Captain Liu nodded and said that it could only be confirmed after reporting to the commune.
A week later, Captain Liu wrote back saying that the commune agreed and approved 60 acres of rocky land connected to Wen Qing's backyard for her, accounting for 10% of the shares.
According to the price she paid for the land, one mu was only 5000 yuan, 60 mu of land was 30 yuan, and she had a 10% stake. According to the profit level of her winery, she could get more than yuan a year, which was much more profitable than farming, so she made no loss.
Wen Qing hopes to link the winery with the interests of the village. If the village has more income, the villagers will live a better life. She has done her best to help the village.
Wen Qing called Liu Quan, Wang Jianguo, and Tan Yuanfang and said, "You are the cadres of the winery. This time the village wants to invest in our winery. I also want to give you some shares. Are you willing?"
Wen Qing asked Tan Yuanfang to analyze the operation of the winery to the two of them. Wen Qing said, "To be honest, I am not short of money. I gave you shares mainly because I want you to treat the winery as your own business and work together for common development."
According to the assets and profitability of the winery, she set the share price at 10% of the 2.5 yuan, and could only offer a maximum of 20 yuan. According to their current profits, they would be able to earn back their principal in less than three years.
Seeing that the winery's business was getting better and better, Liu Quan and his friends were interested in buying shares, but they said they wanted to go home and discuss it with their families.
Wen Qing nodded. If they were unwilling to invest, it wouldn’t be her fault if the winery made more money in the future.
Three days later, when Wen Qing came to the winery again, Wang Jianguo stopped her and whispered, "Sister Wen, I have 20 yuan and I want to invest it all."
Liuquan thought about it and said, "I'll invest that much too."
Tan Yuanfang said: "I only have 10 yuan."
Several people gave the money to Tan Yuanfang. Together with Captain Liu, the five people signed the agreement again and went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to go through the registration procedures. Changxia Winery became a joint-stock enterprise and was renamed Changxia Winery Co., Ltd.
The share structure is: Wen Qing 77.5%, Erxiacun 10%, Liuquan and Wang Jianguo 5% each, and Tan Yuanfang 2.5%.
With the addition of three individual shareholders, Wen Qing received 50 yuan. She really didn't know what to do, so she had to go to Chief Li of the Housing Management Office and ask him to recommend some more storefronts.
Wen Qing feels a lot of pressure when building the 5 square meter winery. She needs to design it carefully so that it will not be outdated in the next years.
Wen Qing is planning to build a modern winery, and the project is quite large, so she cannot ask Mr. Liu to do it.
She found Hu Dingze, the son of Master Hu, who graduated from a regular architecture university, and asked him if he could design a winery. Hu Dingze agreed immediately.
Wen Qing took him to Erxia Village, watched their wine-making process, and told Hu Dingze his general ideas.
In the middle of the factory area are the warehouse and filling workshop, surrounded by three wine-making workshops. The grain and auxiliary material warehouse is far away from the boiler room. A wine storage warehouse is built underground. The koji workshop is on the other side of the factory area. In addition, there are office buildings, canteens, and boiler rooms.
The new factory will build 1000 wine cellars, 2000 ground tanks, and stainless steel fermentation barrels in the fruit wine workshop.
Build gardens and parking lots on vacant land and make factory roads spacious.
Hu Dingze designed the winery building, and she designed the production line herself.
We are planning to replace the earthen stove with a gas or coal stove, a boiler, and all the functions of automatic grain moistening, mixing and crushing, a drying bed with a cooling device, temperature-controlled stainless steel distillation equipment, filling, labeling and other equipment, sewage treatment equipment, etc.
Since the winery also needs to brew fruit wine, it is also necessary to prepare special fruit wine fermentation tanks, filtration equipment, etc.
Designing an entire production line is much more complicated than designing a single equipment. Wen Qing took advantage of his work convenience, looked up a lot of information, visited the Pingjing Erguotou Distillery, recalled the Gujing Distillery he had visited before, and designed the production line.
Of course, not all equipment is designed by ourselves, but existing equipment is modified. Otherwise, it would take longer for one person to do it alone.
After finishing drawing the modification drawings of the brewing equipment, Wen Qing handed them over to Director Li of the school-run factory and asked him to help with production.
